Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 286 Great Benefit of the War

After only a dozen minutes, the match began, and everyone in the VIP box gathered around the big screen.

Unlike in the past, the Egyptian team set up a necromancy summoning circle at the start of the match.

"Wow, you actually guessed right!" Jiang Shaoxu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. This was a fighting style he had never seen before.

The Australian team was clearly caught off guard and was still making tentative attacks. By the time they realized what was happening, they were met with a dense mass of dead bodies.

However, with the Egyptian team positioned in the rear, any attempt to attack them would require crossing the undead horde; otherwise, once trapped within it, they would be essentially doomed.

The Australian team even had a high-level wind mage who tried to fly up into the sky to deal with them, but the effect was very limited.

Once the Egyptian team activated their armor and magical artifacts, their wind-based attacks couldn't even break through their defenses.

The remaining teammates were forced to retreat by the undead, and soon some of them were seriously injured and had to leave the game.

"It's a pity, the Australian team is powerless to turn the tide. The number of undead keeps increasing, and their captain's kills can't keep up with the increase." Ai Jiangtu sighed slightly.

They've been through the Battle of Pushini, where the sheer number of undead is incredibly difficult to handle. It's not that you can't kill them, but rather that you don't have enough mana.

You must constantly cast spells to gain space; otherwise, you will soon be swarmed by the undead, who will be even more troublesome in that situation.

But how much magical energy do high-level mages have? Not everyone is at the high-level fully cultivated realm; most people only hover around the first or second level of the high-level realm.

Even the strongest dual-element high-level cultivators can only master high-level magic at most, which is already extremely rare.

In less than half an hour, the entire arena turned into a sea of ​​the dead, and the Australian team was submerged in it.

"Egypt wins!"

On the big screen, the chief referee immediately announced the result of the match.

"Oh... Fak!"

"That Australian team is utter garbage!"

"You cheated me out of my money! Give me my money back!"

"Go back and drink your milk!"

"Ah... my money! Screw the Australian team!"

……

Through the private room, a commotion arose outside, and countless curses could be heard, clearly indicating that a significant number of people had lost their bets.

"Holy crap! How much did you make this time, Wang Teng?"

Zhao Manyan belatedly realized that he had just heard Jiang Shaoxu's voice and knew that the guy had already started making money.

"Hmm~ not much, less than 120 billion."

Wang Teng grinned from ear to ear. Even he couldn't help but get excited when faced with such a huge sum of money. Of course, he would still have to pay some taxes, so he would actually receive less.

Based on this calculation, he has earned nearly 20 billion so far, and with the principal, his total assets have reached the threshold of 40 billion.

"Damn it~ You've practically emptied the prize pool, haven't you?"

"Our family's liquid assets are almost less than yours personally, it's terrifying!"

"You really dare to gamble like that!"

While Zhao Manyan was envious, he was also deeply impressed. The speed at which they made money was simply astonishing. If word got out, it would become another topic of overnight riches.

"That's an exaggeration... The prize pool is at least in the hundreds of billions. I only earned a little bit more than the prize pool. It's far less than that."

Wang Teng quickly denied Zhao Manyan's words, acknowledging that he should remain humble.

The others stared in disbelief, listening to the two men's conversation as if it were some kind of esoteric tale.

The get-rich-quick myth was actually happening all around them...

Even the icy beauty Mu Ningxue couldn't help but glance at Wang Teng frequently, her eyes filled with emotion.

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. She has a deep understanding of this saying. Her past extravagance has vanished like smoke.

Even though she now earns her own money and lives a free life, she has never been financially well-off. Most mages are very poor, and she happens to be one of them.

"Ahem... Alright, the five of you who are ready to go on stage, please come with me to the preparation area. Instructor Songhe has already registered."

"The rest of you, wait here!"

Feng Li was also amazed by Wang Teng's speed and extravagance in making money, but he didn't forget the important matter and hurriedly urged the team members.

The five people who had taken the stage quickly came to their senses, got up, and followed Feng Li's steps.

"Keep it up!" +N

Everyone offered their blessings. Even though they couldn't play, they still had to give their blessings. What if they had a chance to play in the future?

How embarrassing would it be if no one gave me their blessings!

After the previous match ended, the field engineers quickly came back on the field to begin modifying the terrain.

This time, the number of people on the field more than doubled, with dozens of people quickly activating magic, and the entire arena was transformed.

Countless waterways meander across the land, and there are even pillar-shaped solid structures resembling houses. In just over ten minutes, a miniature version of Venice emerges.

"This is somewhat shameless, actually using this city as a reference to build a battlefield."

"Even as the event organizers, they shouldn't do this, right?"

Nan Jue was immediately furious. This was blatant cheating. Everyone knew that most of the people in Venice were water mages.

Isn't this just exploiting loopholes in the rules to create a competitive advantage for themselves?

"Take it easy~"

Wang Teng naturally believed there was something fishy going on, but so what? This was just playing on the edge of the rules, randomly setting up the venue.

How to arrange it? How to make it random is entirely up to them.

Of course, this is the limit that the other party can do.

Any more and it would cross everyone's bottom line; no one would be willing to suffer such a loss.

"With Mu Ningxue around, these water system advantages don't exist. I think Ai Jiangtu should understand how this match is played."

"The rest is naturally left to the mentor team to negotiate; condemning such things is their job."

Dongfang Lie said with a look of relief, "Luckily, I wasn't the one playing in this match, otherwise my fire magic would have been greatly reduced against water-based defenses."

"Come on, I can't even get on if I wanted to, and you're still making sarcastic remarks?"

Zu Jiming was a little unhappy. Dongfang Lie really knew how to bring up the most awkward topics. If he were allowed to play this game, he was confident he could crush his opponent.

Of course, he couldn't say that out loud; he was just thinking it to himself. Compared to his control over ice-type attacks, he was still a bit lacking in dealing with water-type attacks.

Mu Tingying's face turned even uglier, her hands clenched tightly. This match was going to let that ice-cold guy steal the spotlight again.

Watching the other person steal the spotlight is even more unbearable than seeing herself steal the spotlight.

Especially after losing the Ice Bow fragments, she is now practically abandoned. After the National Tournament ends, she will most likely be faced with an arranged marriage.

Nan Rongni frowned and tried to pull her hand away with a little force, but found that she couldn't pull it away at all. However, this woman had a strong grip and squeezed her arm so hard that it hurt a lot.

Guan Yu sat back on the sofa with a salty look on his face, eating snacks and drinking soda, looking completely relaxed.

Looking back on the days when the National Team was assembled, he was full of vigor and high spirits, but now his edges have been smoothed out by experience.
